I'm pretty sure that ND has a scissor lift somewhere right?
Or just use that wide open big Notre Dame tunnel would be easier. Purdue should just bring the drum and bang it on the ND campus.  ;D

My daughter -- a Purdue student -- is going to the game. I hope Purdue crushes them.*


*And I'm generally an ND football fan. I won't bother asking you not to judge me, but please judge me less harshly because when I was growing up rooting for ND was a condition of receiving room and board. Old habits die hard.

All good man.  I'm always sympathetic to children who grew up in horrifically emotionally abusive households  :'(

I think every Nebraska fan is looking forward to the Adrian Martinez era being over. Lots of athletic ability but just a bad bad quarterback.

I understand the grievances toward Martinez. He did keep the team in the game today, in what was supposed to be a rout. Two missed FGs and a PAT return was the difference .

He doesn’t have a lot of help and their defense has mostly been atrocious the whole time he’s been there, but still.

SI did a piece in Florida hiring Dan Mullen.  Frost was also up for that job and they moved on from him quickly.  A good part of that was probably knowing he was a heavy Nebraska lean but they seemed certain he wasn’t ready for a big job

I might’ve misheard or misunderstood their explanation, but on their second last possession Auburn’s wide receiver fumbled while they were driving and the Pen State defender scooped and scored it with 5:08 left. About 12 seconds ran off the clock, but the call was overturned on review as the WR was down. They commentators explained that if the review happens with more than 5:00 left in the game, the time is not put back on the clock, so Auburn got the ball back but with 5:08 still on the clock. Why is that a rule?

Yes, Frost had one great year. In two seasons at UCF, help turn an 0-12 team before Frost got to UCF, to a 13-0 season.

ND vs Madison …

So … who do we want to win?

Or maybe the question is: Who do we hate more, and therefore want to lose?

I’ll start …

I don’t have a super strong opinion about Madison football. I’d prefer they lose every week but mostly I’m indifferent.

ND? During my time at Marquette, hating all things ND was a huge part of the experience. And that has stayed with me.

So I’ll take a nice loss by the Flailin’ Irish.

Though I will say it’s also fun when they have a good season and then lose 306-3 in the playoffs.

I love giving ND no credit, but they have a pretty good schedule this year.  Cincy is a top 10 team.  Wisconsin is pretty good, UNC is a top 25 team.  VT and Virginia are both fringe top 25 teams.  So its solid even if their traditional Purdue, USC, Stanford matchups arent good.

That being said, outside of Cincy, there aren't any potentially great teams in there, so given that Wisconsin's season is already toast, I would prefer they beat ND so both teams can be after thoughts the rest of the year instead of ND beating Cincy at home and then everyone breathlessly pretending that this is THE YEAR...again

That's the best part of the college football season.  ND thinking they're legit while anyone who isn't biased realizes it's the same stuff, different year.  Enjoy your 40 point loss in the CFP semifinals.

It would be kind of funny if this WAS the year, though.  Coan is their MVP and Mertz stinks it up before transferring.

I like that take. And I agree about ND's schedule being challenging.
